Trade setup for Wednesday
On the outlook for the Nifty today, Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities, said, “Nifty today is placed at the hurdle of 23,400 to 23,500 levels, which are weighing heavy for the market to sustain the new all-time highs. Hence, there is a possibility of a dip in the market. Immediate support for the Nifty 50 index is at 23,050 levels.”

Speaking on the outlook for Bank Nifty today, Om Mehra, Technical Analyst at SAMCO Securities, said, “The Bank Nifty ended the session at 49,705.75, down by 0.15%, forming a bearish candle with a small body. The index failed to surpass the 50,000 level but remains above its short-term moving average. There could be slight weakness if the index slips below 49,600, leading to a test of the 49,300 to 49,100 levels. However, the primary trend remains strong as long as the 49,000 level is sustained. Bank Nifty might continue to consolidate for a few more days.”
Triggers from global markets
Speaking on the global triggers that may dominate the Indian stock market today, Siddhartha Khemka, Head of Retail Research at Motilal Oswal, said, “Globally, investors are cautiously awaiting US CPI data and US Fed policy outcome, which will be released today. US Fed commentary could provide direction to the market. So far, investors are baking in 1 rate cut towards the end of the year, so any deviation from that could drive the market on either side.”
